Increase in Tinnitus After Fist to Face

Hello everybody,

I've not posted for a while since I've been feeling better and tinnitus wasn't a problem for me anymore. This may sound funny but sometimes I even started to enjoy the sound in my head. In the mornings it was so quiet and peaceful I didn't see it as a problem.

This week was rough for me. I've been having problems with my girlfriend and she easily gets very mad at me. This week however it went trough the roof. After she got very mad she punched me in the face with full force.

Don't get me wrong my (ex) girlfriend is a strong woman and she let herself go completely. She hit me on the cheekbone so hard I saw a flash and my face started bleeding.

Now 2/3 days after the fight I woke up with my tinnitus louder in my right ear and it is also lower in pitch (very anoying)

It could be due to the stress that came from the fight but I'm kind of worried that it is because of head/neck trauma.

Since first onset never had a real change in my tinnitus but this feels different.

Any tips or suggestions what to do now? I would love to hear. Hopefully it will subside by itself, I know I can learn to live with it but I want to go trough the possibilities you know

thanks, regards, Me

 

Your wink emoticon makes me think you are doing ok mentally, so that's already a positive.
It may be useful to consult with a doc to try to diagnose possible problems from your new symptoms. There are many things that could go wrong with blunt force trauma, some of which isn't visible to the naked eye.

Good luck.

 

This is the third time I've heard of a person getting hit by their girlfriend since joining TT in Feb of this year. I think there's an underlying issue here society is not addressing.

I'm glad she's now your ex. You deserve better than that!

 

Yep...something is very wrong.

 

have you proposed yet?

 

Yes...dump her and never look back.
Seriously.

 

Yes and that is that people hit each other. Dont forget men also hit women. I've been the victim of an abusive relationship and when a woman hates you, she thinks she can hit you everyday for no reason.

 

Great that you are not seeing her anymore.

 

I don't call this healthy behavior at all. It's quite possible that your body/face/bones might be in shock. It can possibly take a few days for it to get better. I am no Dr, if you feel that your face still hurts, maybe get it looked at. If you have a relationship, that needs this kind of thing, leave it and find a new mate.

There is no excuse for hitting at all, men or women....period!

I have been hit all over my body (by accident of course) in my martial arts training, it can take time for it to heal.....

 

Hi @Lilpeep,

You may want to consider ending your relationship with your girlfriend. People who feel free to hit other people usually don't stop, no matter how remorseful they are, or how many promises they make to never do it again. People with tinnitus need to do everything they can think of to reduce the amount of stress in their lives. Living with that kind of stress will likely always affect tinnitus to some degree or another.

I fully agree with Fishbone...

Just noticed this woman is now your "EX" girlfriend. I'm happy to hear that. -- All the Best!
